Also in January, the Canary Islands Music Festival will be taking place simultaneously on the islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife, as well as on stages around the other islands. The only European festival to be held in winter, thanks to the islands’ excellent climate, the festival will host concerts by top-level international artists, both orchestras and soloists. It takes place from January 13 until February 14.
